Founder’s Message – Milestone International School

Milestone International School began as a question in my mind — what should a school truly give a child that remains useful even after textbooks are forgotten?

I realised education must build ability, not dependency. A child should not study only to pass classes, but to understand situations, make decisions, and stand confidently in unfamiliar environments. This thought became the foundation of Milestone.

The school was established during the challenging period after COVID, when uncertainty affected both learning and confidence in children. Instead of rebuilding the old system, we chose to redesign it. Every classroom structure, routine, and academic process here has been thoughtfully planned to support clarity, discipline, and independence in learners.

Our aim is simple but demanding —
children should leave school with skills that life actually requires: thinking clearly, speaking confidently, adapting quickly, and acting responsibly.

At Milestone, education is not treated as a race for marks but as preparation for reality. Teachers guide, systems support, and the environment encourages children to grow naturally into capable individuals.

This institution is my commitment to parents and students that schooling can be meaningful, structured, and trustworthy when purpose leads planning.

“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; guide them by what interests their minds.”
— Plato
